And two of em are ”no one believes in us" teams.

What is interesting is that both the Jags and Eagles have an obvious strategy (play a ball control, low scoring game emphasizing the run and defense) and the team to pull it off. Of course, no one would have believed you if you said the Jags would drop 40 on the Steelers. So ...

The NFC East specifically and NFC more generally has a serious problem on their hands with the Eagles no matter what ... but if they manage to win a SB with Nick Fucking Foles ...

In related news, the Eagles winning a SB with Nick Foles is like the greatest sports radio moment ever as far as coming full circle given the "he's the next Brady!" callers after his ridiculous season with Kelly.

The best part about the win is that it's the most Philly way to win their first superbowl. When Wentz got hurt I texted a buddy of mine and said if the Eagles ever planned on winning a superbowl they would do it with their backup. I also love the fact that Foles was literally the best player on the field tonight.

While I am sure that factored in, they very likely had no choice. The PSD relies on a lot of public transit to move the kids around, and this is likely going to be 10x worse than the Phillies parade, which effectively rendered the public transit of the city/region inoperable for the majority of the day. I literally could not get to the stadium.

In related news, the Collingswood School District is closed for the parade, and this has caused an epic facebook fight on the community board on a post by a parent annoyed that they closed the school district. Not without reason, as it forces parents to find child care.

Septa responds by saying it's going to run like four trains all day Thursday, making it impossible for anyone to get to the parade

I'm a bit late to the party but I just wanted to congratulate all you fine folks on the SB victory. Out of the major sports I'm only a Flyers fan when it comes to Philly but it's a great city and I'm always happy to see you guys happy. Well deserved!
